Hi! You possibly forgot to mark the FAT partition as
bootable in your partition manager (gparted?) and it
might be that your MBR does not contain a boot code,
but you could install for example Grub THERE instead
of the default, in the boot sector of a Linux partition?

there is an empty 2G space at the front. Can I make it Fat32 and put
FreeDOS on it?
This is the HDD - disk not SSD:
MQ04ABF100 Toshiba 1TB/1000GB 5400rpm Sata 7mm
2.5" Hard Drive 128mb, 6 Gbit/s.
Set the HDD as MBR.
Removed all partitions.
Attempted boot got a GRUB error - so it really was installed.
Wiped the HDD
Attempted boot gets a "no bootable..." - apparently a BIOS message, so I
assume the HDD is now clean.
Created 20G, FAT32 partition.
Installed FreeDOS 14 from USB stick. - ends at C:\
C:\dir - 7 files, 4 directories.
C:\sys - MBR, Volume FD14-Full.
20Mb used.
Attempted boot gets a "no bootable...". - "C:\sys C;", "C:\sys C:\" no
boot change.
What am I missing?
TY
Ray
